Sudan and South Sudan talks resume with slow progress on secure border zone
Face to face talks between Sudan and South Sudan resumed Friday, with little progress on the establishment of a demilitarized buffer zone along the disputed border, a chief negotiator from Juba said. “We couldn’t make any progress on the issue of the geographical extent of the safe and the demilitarized border zone,” South Sudan’s foreign minister Nhial Deng Nhial told reporters. Talks between the two countries adjourned in early June after both sides failed to agree on a secure border zone. A spokesperson for Khartoum’s delegation said the creation of the ademilitarised zone along the border was crucial for the progression of talks, adding that the two sides are expected to continue discussions Saturday.
